since there’s heavy representation on this list from Lovers, which (surprise!) is my favorite band, here’s their website: www.holdmyclothes.com

what’s funny about this meme is that the 25 most played songs are indeed mostly my favorites. but it also reflects a series of really difficult times in my life, when i put various of these songs on repeat for hours as i tried to calm myself down. i won’t walk you through them all, but it’s a funny thing to keep track of in a way. sometimes i listen to this list at not-sad times to desensitize myself to them.

some new faves: still Lovers (of course) but also Sharon Van Etten, i’m on a huge New Order kick right now, and i’m actually listening to the radio a fair amount.
